Essential Safety Precautions
Be sure to follow the instructions given below to ensure the safe
use of the PL.
T o avoid a possiblity of electrical shock, be sure to connect the power cord to
the PL before connecting it to the main power supply.
A fire or electrical shock may result if voltages are used with the PL that are
beyond the specified range. Be sure to only use the specified voltage.
Before opening the PL’s protective cover, be sure to turn the unit’s power
OFF. This is because the PL’ s internal parts carry high voltages.
To avoid fires or electrical hazards, do not modify the product in any way.
Do not create touch panel switches that are used to either control or to ensure
the safety of equipment and personnel. Mechanical switches, such as an
emergency stop switch, a deadman (two-handed) start switch, etc., must be
installed and operated via a separate control system.
If metal particles, water or other types of liquids contact any of the PL’ s inter-
nal parts, immediately turn the unit’s power OFF, unplug the power cord,
and contact either your dealer or Digital Electronics Corporation.
Read and understand Chapter 4 “Installation and Wiring” thoroughly in order
to select an appropriate installation location for the PL.
Before either plugging in or unplugging a board or interface connector, be
sure to turn the PL’s power OFF.
To prevent a possible explosion, do not install the PL in areas containing
flammable gases.
The PL is not appropriate for use with aircraft control devices, aerospace equip-
ment, central trunk data transmission (communication) devices, nuclear power
control devices, or medical life support equipment, due to these devices’ inher-
ent requirements of extremely high levels of safety and reliability .
When using the PL with transportation vehicles (trains, cars and ships), di-
saster and crime prevention devices, various types of safety equipment, non-
life support related medical devices, etc. redundant and/or failsafe system
designs should be used to ensure the proper degree of reliability and safety.

General Safety Precautions
Follow the instructions given below for correct and safe use of the PL.
Do not push on the PL’s screen too strongly, with either your finger or with a
hard object. Excessive pressure can scratch, crack or damage the screen.
If the screen becomes dirty or smudged, moisten a soft cloth with diluted neutral detergent, wring the cloth well, and wipe the display. Do not use thinner or
organic solvents.
Do not use a pointed object, such as a mechanical pencil or screwdriver, to
press any of the touch panel’ s switches, since they can damage the display.
Avoid exposing and operating the PL in direct sunlight, high temperatures and
humidity, and in areas where excessive dust and vibration will occur.
Avoid using the PL in areas where sudden, extreme changes in temperature can
occur . This may cause condensation to form inside the unit, possibly leading to
an accident.
Preface
To prevent the PL from overheating, be sure its air circulation vents are clear
and clean, and keep the unit’s operation area well-ventilated.
A void operating or storing the PL near chemicals, or where chemicals can come
into contact with the unit.
Since the PL-6700’s hard disk drive (HDD) is a consumable item, i.e. it has a definite
usage lifetime, be sure to back up its data frequently and perform regular maintenance.
T o prevent file damage, be sure to shut down your PL’ s OS before turning the PL OFF.
Notes on Handling the LCD
The PL's LCD contains a strong irritant. If the panel is ever cracked and the LCD's
liquid contacts your skin, be sure to wash it with running water for at least 15
minutes. If any of this liquid should enter your eye, be sure to flush your eye with
running water for more than 15 minutes, and see a doctor immediately .
The current brightness of the LCD screen will depend on the screen's current
display and the LCD's contrast adjustment. Any brightness variations that result
are normal for LCD displays.
There are minute grid-points (Dark or light points) on the LCD surface. These
points are not defects and are a part of the PL panel’s design.
iv
Occasionally crosstalk (shadows appearing on extended display lines) will appear on the
display . This phenomenon is a common attribute of LCDs and is not a defect.
The displayed color will look different when viewed from an angle outside the
specified view angle. This is also normal.
PL-6700 Series User’s Manual
Preface
Displaying a single screen image for long periods of time can cause an afterimage
to remain on the screen. T o correct this, turn the unit OFF for 5 to 10 minutes,
then ON again. This phenomenon is a common attribute of the LCDs, and is not
a defect. To prevent this effect, you can:
- use the Display OFF feature; if the same image is to be displayed for a long
period of time.
- change the screen display periodically to prevent the displaying of a single
image for a long period of time.
For further information about the PL’s LCD panel, please contact your local PL
distributor.

*1 The front face of the GP unit, installed in a solid panel, has been tested using conditions equivalent to the
standard shown in the specification . Even though the GP unit’s level of resistance is equivalent to the
standard, oils that should have no effect on the GP can possibly harm the unit. This can occur in areas where
either vaporized oils are present, or where low viscosity cutting oils are allowed to adhere to the unit for long
periods of time. If the GP’s front face protection sheet becomes peeled off, these conditions can lead to the
ingress of oil into the GP and separate protection measures are suggested. Also, if non-approved oils are
present, it may cause deformation or corrosion of the front panel’s plastic cover. Therefore, prior to installing
the GP be sure to confirm the type of conditions that will be present in the GP’s operating environment.
If the installation gasket is used for a long period of time, or if the unit and its gasket are removed from the
panel, the original level of the protection cannot be guaranteed. To maintain the original protection level,
you need to replace the installation gasket regularly.

WARNING
T o avoid electric hazards, be sure to turn the PL’s power OFF before installing
any optional units or expansion boards.
Use a screw driver to loosen or tighten the screws. Be careful not to over-tighten
any screws, since it may damage the equipment.
Be careful when removing or inserting any screws inside the body of the PL.
1 Attaching the PL’s Support Leg
Be sure to remove the support “leg” when placing the PL into a panel or cabinet,
since this could damage either the leg, the PL or the panel.
In order to perform development using the PL-6700, an additional “leg” (support) is
supplied with the unit to stabilize it when placing it on a table top (i.e. when the unit
is not mounted in a panel), due to the irregular shape of the unit’s chassis. The procedure for attaching this leg is described below.
PL-6700 Series User’s Manual
1) Attach the support leg to the PL’s
chassis, as shown here.

•To improve noise immunity , it is recommended
to attach a ferrite core to the power cord.
• Isolate the main circuit (high voltage, large
current) line, I/O signal lines, and power cord,
and do not bind or group them together.
•T o prevent damage from lightning, connect a
lightning surge absorber .
• Ground the lightning surge absorber
(E1) and the PL (E2) separately.
• Select a lightning surge absorber
which will not exceed the allowable

• Set up a dedicated ground when using
the rear panel’ s FG terminal.
• If a dedicated ground is not possible, use
a shared ground, as shown in figure (b).
• The grounding point must be as close to
the PL as possible, and the grounding
wires must be as short as possible. If the
wires must be long, use thick, insulated
wires and run them through conduits.
4Cautions When Connecting I/O Signal Lines
• I/O signal lines must be wired separately from the power circuit cable.
• If the power circuit cable needs to be wired together with the input/output
(I/O) signal lines for any reason, use shielded cables and ground one end of
the shield to the PL’s FG terminal.
• To improve noise immunity, it is recommended to attach a ferrite core to the
power cord.
*1 Use a grounding resistance of less than 100 U and a 2mm2 or thicker wire, or your
country’s applicable standard. For details, contact your local PL distributor.
